Chapter 1705: Chapter 1405 Elder, my life is not worth mourning, please take over the Western Astronomical Academy_2 Chapter 1705: Chapter 1405 Elder, my life is not worth mourning, please take over the Western Astronomical Academy_2 “Only such a person who is not confined by the secular world can master such a divine item.
“Furthermore, the moment the Yin Yang Grinding Plate appears, all things in heaven and earth may become imbalanced.
“In order to allow you to smoothly subdue the divine item, I have decided to go to the southern region and balance the forces of heaven and earth.
“To bring you enough time.
“However, without us, the Western Astronomical Academy will likely face hardships.
“I hope you can return to the academy when the time comes and take charge of the situation.”
At first, Jiang Hao was somewhat touched as he listened.
The more he listened, the more he felt the other party wanted to tie him down to the academy.
Take charge of the situation?
With his mediocre intellect?
Among the great sects, there are too many schemes that one cannot face directly.
At his age of four hundred, he was like a child in front of these people.
Taking charge meant pushing the sect into fire.
It's not that he was unable to offer advice, but he had never thought of the troubles the implementers would encounter.
Take the Heavenly Note Sect, for instance.
Leaving it to his management would definitely not be as good as leaving it to Baizhi's.
“Senior,” the three stood before Jiang Hao with an expression of no return.
Jiang Hao sighed and said, “Seniors, you are blocking my way into the city.”
“Senior, it takes quite a bit of time to head to the southern region. It's a bit too late to not leave now,” Jing Dajiang said seriously.
Jiang Hao felt that the person before him couldn't wait to hand over control of the academy to him.
After bypassing them with Baizhi, Jiang Hao continued, “I have already placed an item in the southern region that is sufficient to balance heaven and earth, so you no longer need to suffer. Continue to take charge of the academy.”
The three were puzzled.
What's the situation?
“Are you here for the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone too, Senior?” Jing Dajiang said, somewhat surprised.
Jiang Hao arrived at the arena where Han Ming was and specifically found an inn.
This had been arranged since yesterday and allowed him to watch the competition while drinking tea.
It cost quite a few spirit stones.
Some people even wanted to use their own strength to seize this spot.
Luckily, they were rational.
When he just helplessly wiped the Moon-Slaying saber, they enthusiastically offered to pay the spirit stones.
The table was surrounded on four sides, and the three from Jing Dajiang occupied three of them.
Baizhi took a seat on her own, and Jiang Hao, after looking around, finally sat next to her.
Fortunately, his seat was good and provided a direct view of the arena.
“Senior, did you come here just for the Li Clan?” Jing Dajiang inquired.
Jiang Hao replied indifferently, “I just came to have a look, and we'll see what happens in time.”
“You came here to watch the competition? Who is worthy of Senior's attention?” the bearded old man suddenly asked: “Could it be a disciple forsaken by our academy?”
Jiang Hao: “…”
It was a disciple of our Heavenly Note Sect.
Though not the top disciple, if he returned, he would essentially secure the top spot.
Then there would be three top disciples at the Cliff of Broken Hearts.
Definitely surpassing other branches.
However, it was also time to move up from my current tenth position, which prevented those behind from advancing.
It's not a solution; I'll challenge the ninth upon my return and take over the ninth position.
However, the ninth's rate of promotion is also fast.
In just a few years, he'll enter the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Senior Brother Bai Yi seems about to ascend.
So fast.
In just a few years, all top ten disciples will become immortals.
Nearly challenging the Branch Masters.
“I've checked, and the next match is the Seven Extremes Sword inheritance contest,” the beardless old man spoke.
Everyone then realized they were here to watch the Seven Extremes Sword.
Jiang Hao didn't explain and continued to make tea for Baizhi.
Unable to compete himself, he could only watch his junior brother Han Ming's performance.
The Seven Extremes Sword inheritance seemed quite exceptional.
“Senior, let me tell you about our Western Astronomical Academy,” Jing Dajiang began.
Jiang Hao looked at him and asked, “Which senior do you think I am?”
“Does it matter which one?” Jing Dajiang said earnestly, “Our academy's seniors like to discard their old identities, which we naturally support.
“Whatever name Senior wants to use, just say the word, and we'll change it immediately.”
Jiang Hao: “…”
For the moment, he truly didn't know what to say.
Meanwhile,
Inside the city.
Han Ming watched Ye Qingxue battle a strong opponent.
Her fierce swordplay made him want to clash with her.
Regrettably, this wasn't his arena.
Ultimately Ye Qingxue lost.
She came down from the stage somewhat dejected.
“I lost.”
Han Ming nodded, “Fairy guard, you are quite skilled.”
“Don't comfort me, wait until it's my turn to comfort you. Your match will start soon and you might not last three moves,” Ye Qingxue said, “At least I put up an evenly matched fight. You might not be able to do the same.”
“That would be really bad luck for me,” Han Ming said.
At this time, Ye Feng and Ye Mumu also came over.
Both had some injuries.
Han Ming had also watched their fights briefly.
Ye Feng had a chance, but Ye Mumu did not.
Sure enough.
Ye Feng laughed, “I made it into the second round.”
Ye Mumu pouted, “I lost.”
Ye Feng continued with a smile, “Looks like out of the four of us, only I made it through.”
“It's Friend Han Ming's turn next,” Ye Mumu looked at Han Ming and said, “Don't just surrender next time. These favored geniuses are measured in their attacks. As long as you hold out for a few moves, your reputation will rise.”
“It's not a wasted effort.”
Han Ming nodded, “I won't give up.”
“But if the opponent takes it too seriously, you can't be too stubborn; otherwise, you'll suffer a lot,” Ye Qingxue reminded.
Han Ming smiled without replying.
Ye Feng said, “Let's go and watch. It's about time. It should be Friend Han Ming's turn now.”
“After the competition is over, we'll have a good meal. It's on me.”
Saying that, the four headed toward the central platform.
After some time, the four arrived under the platform.
They discovered the previous match had finished.
It was almost Han Ming's turn.
“Friend Han, are you nervous?” Ye Feng asked.
“A bit, I'm finally going up against someone from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect,” Han Ming started.
“Yes, by the way, where are the seniors from your sect?” Ye Qingxue curiously asked.
At that moment, the referee above had already started calling Han Ming's name.
Upon hearing this, Han Ming walked forward and then answered Ye Qingxue's question: “I came here alone, without any seniors from my sect.”
Hearing that, Ye Feng and the others were stunned.
What did Han Ming mean?
He came alone?
From the southern to the northern region?
What kind of background allows someone to traverse two regions like that?
However, they didn't know that Han Ming had traveled for hundreds of years to get here.
On the platform, Han Ming stepped forward and reported his name.
The referee nodded and then announced, “Now please welcome Jian Chengji of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.”
Then, a figure appeared from below and quickly landed on the platform.
“The match can begin,” the referee said.
Then he stepped back; the match would likely be decided quickly.
There weren't many people watching from below.
Han Ming stood on the platform, looking at the person in front of him who seemed to be in his early twenties.
In his hand was a strangely shaped sword with black and white fused together.
Such a chilling sword's intent.
“We're of the same realm,” Jian Chengji said to Han Ming. “Thus, I will give it my all.”
Hearing this, Han Ming smiled, “Thank you, Friend. To hold back would truly be uncomfortable.”
“No trouble,” Jian Chengji nodded.
“I dare not presume too much. In this world, there are countless formidable individuals.
“Who can say for certain whether you are one of those exceptional people?”
He then made a welcoming gesture, “The guest comes first, Friend, after you.”
At this point, Ye Feng and the others below felt some concern.
If the opponent wasn't holding back, then…
There might not be a good meal tonight as Friend Han Ming would likely be down for the count.
Han Ming paid no attention to the outside world and focused entirely on the person in front of him, entering an unprecedentedly good state.
Then he took a step forward, “Forgive my offense.”
Clang!
A resonating sword cry shook the mountains and earth.
Then power burst forth, the mountains and rivers churned, and the sword's intent rose like waves, creating towering billows.
Jian Chengji had never underestimated his opponent, but upon sensing the sword's intent, his pupils shrank.
His body's strength revved up, and the Seven Extremes Sword vibrated.
Clang!
The Seven Extremes Sword was unsheathed.
Black and white intersected, the sword's intent piercing the skies.
Gone was any hint of holding back.
Boom!
A powerful surge of strength broke out, sweeping the surrounding area.
It forced everyone nearby to retreat.
Ye Qingxue and the others felt the immense sword's intent and retreated hundreds of meters.
And the powerhouses who had been competing all stopped to look towards Han Ming's platform.
At that moment, everyone saw the two swordsmen, gripping their swords, weaving back and forth, a mere step between them, eye to eye.
Overwhelming sword intents collided.
Like a vortex, they spun the heavens and the earth.
It was like a clash between two peerless geniuses.
Seeing this, Ye Feng and his companions were flabbergasted.
With such formidable might unraveling before them, even the slowest among them came to the revelation.
The Han Ming they had been traveling with…
Was no ordinary prodigy.
He was indeed one of the four blessed sons of heaven.
The original referee was also greatly surprised but felt pity for Han Ming.
Knowing full well that Jian Chengji was no ordinary genius, it would be difficult for Han Ming to keep up, though his prowess was enough to make him proud.
